Picture of Adolf William Bouguereau “Spring” – a unique interpretation of the birth of the spring thaw. The canvas of the artist is very bright and saturated with love and the light of the awakening of nature. The author embodied the natural phenomenon in the image of a young virgin. Allegoricity and the personification of the imponderable and intangible in the guise of a living being has always been a difficult task, while winning. Buger’s warm season became the center of the picture, it is palpable, has a thin mill and transparent skin. It’s her, it’s Spring Bouguereau! The layout of the characters in the picture is very simple.
The author did not overload his work with lush bloom. All in moderation – and scurrying angels, and flowers, and a fragment of the landscape. For a Russian connoisseur, spring in the understanding of her birth is always represented by a thaw and the first kidneys. You can not separate the biography of Bouguereau from his work. French winter is different – it rains and temperatures to zero degrees. This warmth will explain the lush vegetation and already dense foliage in the background of the picture, a sufficiently warmed soil with already flowering primroses, juicy grass.
In contrast to the already mature nature, Bouguereau portrayed Spring as still very young. To her birth, as the personification of the first love and bright feelings, had a proper effect on the viewer, the author surrounded her with a large brotherhood of angels. Winged babies are synonymous with the Amur – the Gods of love of Roman mythology. Also these “young people” were related to the Cherubim, close to God. Here cherubs sing songs to the young Spring. In any case, artists often resort to placing winged boys in their canvases. This gives the plot a feeling of affection, warmth and kindness. The spring girl Bugero is bashful and modest. Despite her embarrassment, she is amused by the kisses of her child’s lips. Her eyes are covered, and her pink lips are half open.
Mimicry speaks of pleasure and pleasure. Her companions are fascinated by youth, freshness and integrity of the body. Angels play with long hair, remove strands from the face of Spring and sit faithfully at bare feet. Bouguereau caught the mood of spring nature. Therefore the animated phenomenon of nature is virgin and innocent in its nakedness without a hint of earthly flaws.
In addition to the fresh plot, the artist used a game of cold and warm colors to write the body of a girl and feathered mischief-makers. Surrounded by a denser background, the characters seem weightless and glowing from within. This is how a ripe apple looks transparent: transparent, juicy, honey. This beautiful painting in full growth, however, like all the works of the Frenchman Adolf Bouguereau, became the hallmark of yet another interpretation of Spring in painting.
